Magazine Rack A weekend in the workshop is all that's needed to complete this project. With its Early American styling, pine is a good choice, particularly since it's relatively inexpensive. We used V* in. thick stock throughout. Begin by cutting the two sides (D) to overall length and width from % in. thick stock. If necessary, edge-joint stock to get the 6 in, width. Referring to the drawing, lay out and mark the location of ¥* in. wide by Vt in. deep dado for the bottom (E). To cut the dado, use the table saw equipped with a dado-head cutter or use a regular saw blade and make repeated passes. Since the dado for the dividers {Parts A, B and C) must be stopped at the bottom dado, it's best to use a router for this operation. Equip the router with a straight bit. If you have a V* in. diameter bit, the cut can be made in one pass. Smaller bits will take several passes and the edge-guide will need to be relocated after each pass. To cut the dadoes, clamp the edge guide to the stock, then hold the router against the guide as you make the cut. A piece of scrap stock that has a straight edge will make a good edge guide. Be sure to stop the cut at the point it meets the bottom dado. Next, transter the profile from the drawing to the sides, then cut out with a band or saber saw. This completes preliminary work on the sides. The dividers (Parts A, B and C) can now be cut to overall length and width as shown. Transfer the grid pattern to the stock and cut out with a band or saber saw. After cutting the bottom to size (3A x b x 24 in.), all parts can be given a complete sanding. Give special attention to the curved edges, as these should be well smoothed with no rough areas. Assemble as shown. Use glue and wood screws to join the sides (D) to the dividers (A, B and C) and the bottom (E). Countersink the wood screws, then piug with wood plugs. Final sand all parts. Give the corners and edges a good rounding to simulate years of wear, and sand the wood plugs flush with the surface. Apply stain to suit (we used Minwax's Early American), then apply two coats of polyurethane varnish as a final clear AL-L- 3A" 34-Wf ve- + ^/e pErer |
